6.10 Installing the TruCluster Server Software

This section covers the Fibre Channel specific procedures you need to execute before running clu_create to create the first cluster member or clu_add_member to add subsequent cluster members. It also covers the procedure you need to execute after running clu_create or clu_add_member before you boot the new cluster member into the cluster. Use the TruCluster Server Software Installation procedures in conjunction with this manual for the TruCluster Server software installation.

To install the TruCluster Server software, follow these steps:

1.On the system you installed the Tru64 UNIX operating system on, boot the system, and before you install the TruCluster Server software subsets, determine the /dev/disk/dskn values to use for cluster installation (see Section 6.9).

2.Initialize disklabels for all disks needed to create the cluster. For the example disks we are using, it is disks dsk18 (/var), dsk19 (/usr), dsk20 [cluster root (/)], and dsk21 (Quorum). For instance:

# disklabel -rw dsk20 HSG80

3.Install the TruCluster Server software subsets and run the clu_create command to create the first cluster member using the procedures in the TruCluster Server Software Installation manual. When clu_create terminates, do not reboot the system. Shut down the system and reset the bootdef_dev console environment variable to provide multiple boot paths to the member system boot disk before booting (see Section 6.8). Boot the first cluster member.

4.On the system you installed the Tru64 UNIX operating system on, run clu_add_member to add subsequent cluster members.

____________________ Note _____________________

The system you installed the Tru64 UNIX operating system on is already enabled to access all the member system boot disks. If you use another cluster member system, you need to use the wwidmgr -quicksetcommand to set up the paths to the member system boot disk.

Before you boot the system being added to the cluster, on the newly added cluster member:

a.Use the wwidmgr utility with the -quicksetoption to set the device unit number for the member system boot disk. For member system 2 in the example configuration, it is the storage unit with UDID 132 (See Table 6–2):
